Disney Interactive Studios have put together a demo for Pure, which just hit the Marketplace and will go online on PSN soon. What a demo! I've never thought four-wheeling could be so fun, but this is some good stuff. Great graphics, great sound, awesome gameplay. You'll see notifications on the screen, "B lost" etc - you do tricks, and then fill the meter in the right corner. The more it's filled, the more advance tricks you can do. We captured gameplay videos for those unable to download the demo, enjoy.

Why do you even compare this to Motorstorm? I can't see much similarities gameplaywise.
The SSX series would be a better comparison, especially SSX Tricky.

technically freekstyle would be the better comparison since that was lap based, not downhill. plus it was on dirtbikes. and the system was the same as SSX. PURE is basically freekstyle on quads, only with a really odd lack of weight to the vehicles. i mean, you can steer your quad just as well in the air as you can on the ground, thats just weird...lol

technically i should love PURE tho, for the simple reason i loved SSX, freekstyle, sled storm, and downhill domination...but i dont.

The huge black borders around the screen are I guess some attempt at Top Gear style vignetting, but to have it present ALL THE TIME is hugely distracting and looks awful.

Other than that, it's an off road game by numbers with prettier than average graphics. In other words, it's nothing special

Game looks awesome but the feel of the handling kills it for me.

Freekstyle was dire! SSX and DD were awesome though... I'm hoping Pure will have at least some resemblance to SSX cause a next gen version of that doesn't seem to be on the horizon as of yet.

i think i know why. while this whole premis was quite fresh back 5+ years ago (hence the onslaught of EA BIG games and the likes of DD) now it feels dated. i think thats why im not too interesting in this after the demo. it feels like i played it 5 years ago. and i think thats why EA havnt anounced an SSX sequel, the whole idea is kinda played into the ground.

pure plays like a bland clone of an ea big game. no real personality, no awesomeness, no real interactiv music, no annoying edgy characters.

The black borders are the corners of the helmet guess

Just played the demo myself, and I have to say, this game looks and plays kickass..

To bad though it's just quads and it's mainly about doing stuntjumps.. I would have prefered more variation in vehicles, with less emphasis on the stuntjumping.. It's indeed like SSX on quads..

What was also funny for me was that the whole game was translated in Dutch.. Somehow that makes it feel kiddy.. :P

After playing demo game is really good (graphic, speed, track) but there is something missing. I don't feel power or hardcore of the jumps & tricks and the control/handling of the ATV... I don't feel I have control on it. It feels like it float.

BTW Only things similiar to Motorstorm: ATVs, off-road and music (song "Woman" or Pendulum music). Other things: everything diffrent.

God I fucking hate this game. It's GOOD, but that's about as close as it got to getting my money; when I started seeing other runners doing gestures at me and then the Motorstorm tracks kicked in I just got pissed at how hard this thing tries to copy the Motorstorm vibe.
